Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus

Sakuta believed he had already cleared the first hurdle by locating Touko Kirishima. His next objective was straightforward in theory but daunting in practice: persuade her to assist in protecting Mai. However, as he attempts to secure her cooperation, he stumbles upon a baffling anomaly that throws his plans into disarray. There is not just one Touko Kirishima roaming about—there are several. The girl he thought he knew might not be the actual person he needs, leaving him surrounded by impostors and unsure of whom to trust. With the threat looming over Mai growing more severe by the day, Sakuta turns to an unexpected source for guidance. Fragments of prophetic dreams shared by his friends begin to piece together a clearer picture of the exact danger heading their way. Yet, deciphering these cryptic visions is only half the battle. Before the window of opportunity closes entirely, Sakuta must navigate through a sea of false identities, separating the genuine Touko Kirishima from the fakes to ensure Mai's safety in this thirteenth installment of the Seishun Buta Yarou series.
